Australia coach Michael Cheika has criticised referee Jaco Peyper after a try-saving no-arms tackle by Owen Farrell went unpunished in his side's 37-18 defeat to England.

Peyper declined to use the television match official for the challenge that Sir Clive Woodward said should have been a penalty try - an outcome which would have put the Wallabies 17-13 ahead with a conversion to come. Farrell escaped sanction for a similar tackle in the autumn opener against South Africa, while a week later England were denied victory against New Zealand when a late try was ruled out by the TMO.
